Am I a bad GM?

 

I traded $20m, Guerrero, Pruitt, Davis, Urena and Colabello for Votto.

 

Votto is now out for 6 weeks

 

I'm also trying desperately for a 2B and SP and Dozier/Ross are pretty expensive

In my game Davis and Urena turn into allstars with Urena being worth like 5 WAR a season.

They aren't on my team. I'm the Portland Beavers but they are both still on the Jays and the last season I completed Urena is at 5 WAR and Davis is at 2.5 WAR. I'm in 2019.
